American Bible Society Releases Spanish Language Audio Bible

Produced and directed by 2008 Grammy Award winner

NEW YORK, May 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --

The most widely read book in the world is now available on the go -- in the car, on the computer and via the iPod --- en Espanol. The American Bible Society today released La Palabra Eterna, Reina-Valera 1960, a dramatized recording in Spanish of the New Testament. Produced and directed by Grammy Award winner and independent producer David Rapkin, whose audio books are frequently represented on the Publisher's Weekly list of best selling audio programs, The Reina-Valera 1960 promises to bring alive the richness of the Scriptures.


In an effort to bring the Scriptures to an international audience and make the Bible accessible to everyone, despite their level of literacy, learning style or activity, the American Bible Society continues to use a variety of vehicles to spread the Word of God.


"To carry on the Bible Society's mission to make the Bible available to every person in a language and format each can understand and afford, producing a Spanish-language, auditory-version of the Bible was a natural venture to take on," said John Cruz, vice president of the Bible Society's publishing unit, Bibles.org. "We encourage everyone to experience its life-changing message."


Available in both CD and MP3 formats, the audio Bible features native Spanish-speaking talent in a dramatized presentation with music and sound effects, designed to transport the listener back to the time of Christ.


To continue to meet the needs of the Hispanic community, Bibles.org has launched a Spanish language Web site, at La Palabra Eterna, Reina-Valera 1960. The Web site makes multimedia Biblical resources easily available. To listen to La Palabra Eterna, Reina-Valera 1960, order a copy and to find more information, visit www.bibles.org or www.lapalabraeterna.org.
